Searching for a new force of nature with the CMS detector

Producción científica: Capítulo del libro/informe/acta de congresoContribución a la conferenciarevisión exhaustiva

Resumen

The CMS experiment, at the LHC, is a general-purpose particle detector designed to study the products of proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions in order to decipher the deepest laws of Nature. Together with an overview of the CMS experiment, the results of a search for a new gauge boson W′, decaying into a muon and a neutrino, are presented. This search was performed using pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TV, corresponding to 36 pb -1 of data gathered with the CMS detector. No excess of events above the standard model (SM) is found in the transverse mass distribution of the muon-neutrino system, and W′, boson masses below 1.58 TeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level, when combined with the electron channel.
